Recap: The inaugural Global Value Provider Conference

The debut of the Global Value Provider Conference was a resounding success and achieved the desired results. Approximately 170 partners from 40 countries gathered this week at the newly established ABB Innovation and Training Campus at B&R in Eggelsberg, Upper Austria – Austria's largest center for machine and factory automation – to exchange information, network with like-minded individuals and engage in discussions with industry experts. The majority of the lectures were fully booked and filled to capacity.

Partnership for shared growth

The B&R strategy, the latest market trends and exclusive keynotes presenting groundbreaking technologies were very well received by the audience. In addition to the management keynotes on the main stage, there were parallel sessions by product and industry experts, providing deep insights into relevant topics. The motto "Added value for manufacturers and win-win results for partners" not only resonated in the presentations but is also dynamically embodied and actualized in our day-to-day collaboration within the partnership. Participants found the conference atmosphere to be inspiring and filled with a strong sense of community. In the dynamic world of automation, interaction between industry colleagues is an invaluable asset, and the global network of professionals in automation created by the Value Provider Program is proving to be a driving force for innovation and progress.
